Love, Dad.

Here is what happens when we forget to flatten Quinn's hair after bath time

Quinn watching Piper's performance

Quinn loved watching his sister sing last night up on stage. Here he is in the center aisle trying to do the same moves they are doing on stage.

Piper's preschool performance

2008-05-14T19:23:00.000-07:00

Here is Piper at her school performance last night. She is in the front row center b/w 2 boys. She sang 4 songs, and I think this is called "God made Everything". She did a great job and had so much fun.

Duped by a Three Year Old

2008-05-10T17:24:00.001-07:00

Saturday afternoon we took the kids to the YMCA for a swim in the pool. Piper wanted to swim with me, Dad, in the big pool while Mom and Quinn swam in the baby pool. Piper can’t actually swim, yet, but she is close. She is not afraid to jump in, hold onto floaties and kick by herself, put her head under water, etc. Piper’s favorite activity was to kick while holding onto two floaties that looked like dumbbells. She can go the length of an Olympic sized pool, but she did not like her Dad being too close because she wanted to do it by her self. Keep in mind there was no shallow end and she can’t swim without some type of assistance. Throughout the afternoon Piper kept trying new and more daring moves such as using only one dumbbell instead of two or using no dumbbells. This made her Dad nervous because remember, she can’t swim.

At one point Piper got out of the pool and had a great idea. She asked me to swim from one end of the pool to the other under water. She eagerly ran to sit in the bleachers to watch. I have to admit that I felt a bit of pride well up seeing how my daughter wanted me to perform a test of endurance. I knew I would be up for the challenge. I swam to one end, took a deep breath and dove in. I made it half way and then came up for air. When I looked to the bleachers to wave to Piper, who I assumed would be beaming with pride, she was not there. She was getting into the pool from where I just came. Her quick little moves and funny grin told me that I had just been duped.

By the time I made it to her I was no longer angry, but almost impressed that she could pull that off. I told her not to trick me again and also warned her about the dangers of swimming alone. I also quietly warned myself not to fall for such schemes in the future because I fear more is to come.

Sweet Piper
Piper and Quinn look forward to the garbage man coming weekly. They have the perfect view from where we live, across from the dumpsters (don't you wish you too had that view!!)

Our sweet garbage man always looks up for them too and gives them a wave.

Quinn's Birthday Party

Time for us

2008-02-18T11:24:00.000-08:00

Josh and I were spoiled last weekend to be in Orlando, FL for 4 days without kids. We went on a Primerica trip to the Grande Lakes Resort. It was incredible. They also rented out Universal Studios Island's of Adventure for an evening. We were able to hop off and on any ride in the park and all the food was free.

We love this company!!

Here are some pics from our time.

Happy Birthday, Quinn!

2008-02-15T11:09:00.001-08:00

Quinn is 1 today. Here is video of some of his first steps.

This picture of Quinn just makes me laugh. He has never taken a pacifier in his 10 months of life until suddenly this last week he likes to keep it in. Can a kid become attached to a pacifier this late? We just think it's so cute. Piper put my hat on him.

Quinn is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up, and is now attempting to say Piper. He loves to smile and is just so sweet. We can't get enough of him!!

Piper's First Job

2007-12-11T06:55:00.000-08:00

We connected Piper with an agent in Chicago this past summer.
Yesterday, she finally had her first real print job at the Field Museum in downtown Chicago.
The Field Museum has a new Children's lab, so Piper along with several other toddlers got to just run around and play for an hour while their pictures were being taken.
She loved it!! I don't think she had any idea she was even working. She just got to run around this pretend pueblo and play with plastic corn.

So, keep your eyes open for any advertisements for the Field Museum out and about or online. You just might see Piper!!

School Days

2007-09-30T17:29:00.001-07:00

Piper is now in school 2 days a week at Toddler's Campus in Wheaton. She loves it. This particular day was Cowboy/cowgirl day.

2007-09-10T12:05:00.000-07:00

Quinn will be 7 months on Sept.15th. He is now sitting up and saying "Ma ma ma ma....". He's not too interested in baby food. He wants real table food. So far, waffles and cheese are 2 of his favorite foods. He has a beautiful big smile (still no teeth), loves to laugh and give kisses.

Our First Posting

2007-05-28T07:11:00.000-07:00

Welcome to our first posting! I'm sure there are millions of you out there thinking, "Finally, Josh & Angie have a blog!" This is a big responsibility to our family and adoring fans, so we will not take this lightly.

As you will soon see this is a "photo blog" that will predominantly be focused on our children Piper and Quinn, hence the title "Minding Our P's & Q's." They are the focus of our lives, so why shouldn't they be the focus of our blog.

And here they are folks! Piper & Quinn!
